Meet Clyde the beagle who survived 41 DAYS outdoors in brutally cold weather after running away in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy

New York resident Christina Yevoli thought she would never see her beloved beagle mix named Clyde again when the pooch ran away in the aftermath of Superstore Sandy.

But 41 days later, the nine-year-old canine miraculously reappeared, reuniting with his family.

Yevoli's home in Massapequa, Long Island, was damaged by flooding in late October, forcing the woman and her son, Alonso, to move in with her mother in nearby Levittown.

Wonder dog: Clyde, the nine-year-old beagle mix, was reunited with his family 41 days after running away from his home

On December 18, her nine-year-old beagle jumped the fence and ran away after being spooked by the sound of thunder, CBS New York reported.

Every day, Yevoli, a stay-at-home mom, would go out looking for Clyde and putting up 'lost' posters in hopes of finding him.

She also created a Facebook page on the off chance that someone could help her track down the missing pet. For more than a month, her desperate search yielded no results.

'After three or four days, I didn't
think we would find him,' Yevoli told Today.com. 'I thought maybe someone took
him in for themselves or worse -- that he got hit by a car. But I never
gave up. I just kept going and going.'

Rescuer: A dog trapper finally tracked Clyde to his hideaway in the woods in North Massapequa

Then 10 days ago, the beagle was unexpectedly spotted behind an old K-Mart store on Hempstead Turnpike in Levittown.

In order to capture the frightened animal, Yevoli hired the services of a trapper, who on Wednesday morning finally caught up with Clyde in the woods in North Massapequa, not far from his old home.
